Chapter 5: Meet Again
Chapter 5
Mu Jia stood in front of the floor-length mirror in the cloakroom.
Her fingertips brushed across a row of velvet hangers. The neon lights outside the window flickered, casting a flickering shadow on her profile.
Mu Jia felt his desire to win was also rising.
She took a deep breath and took off the black tube-top dress.
Deep V neckline with diamonds.
It’s like cutting the entire galaxy into pieces and attaching them to your chest.
The taxi crossed the river bridge, and Mu Jia looked at himself in the rearview mirror.
The makeup is exquisite and the facial features are pure.
After all, she is only twenty-four or twenty-five years old. With a little dressing up, she looks pure and eye-catching.
Mu Jia is actually quite confident about her beauty.
When Cheng Yu'an brought her into the circle before, she did not ignore the astonished looks of the young men around her.
She wanted to flirt with Xie Siyan.
The car arrived at the destination quickly.
The lights on the golf course at night are dazzling.
Mu Jia walked across the lawn wearing seven-centimeter stilettos.
Song Mingxi waved at her from a distance.
Mu Jia walked over and suddenly saw a figure standing under the light.
Xie Siyan.
He was dressed casually, without a tie.
The whiskey between his fingers reflected the light, and the amber liquid swayed slightly as he turned around.
To make matters worse, Teng Zhi was sitting right next to him.
The white suit pants wrapped around her slender legs, and the lady's cigarette at her fingertips emitted wisps of green smoke.
Mu Jia's breathing hitched.
-
How could this be a chance encounter?
Mu Jia felt that this was no different from provoking someone in public.
She changed her mindset and tried to pretend that she didn't know them, but Teng Zhi had already put out her cigarette.
"Miss Mu." She raised her red lips slightly, "What a coincidence."
With nowhere to hide, Mu Jia could only bite the bullet and call out "Mr. Teng".
Song Mingxi had already walked over and turned to the waiter and said, "Please give my sister a martini with a double olive."
"Miss Mu is quite good at drinking." Xie Siyan suddenly spoke.
His voice was cool, blending into the night wind.
Mu Jia's back straightened instantly.
"Mr. Xie, you're joking. I've never been a good drinker. Thank you for sending me home last time at the bar."
To understate and pass over it in one stroke.
Xie Siyan didn't react much to her accusation of wrongdoing.
He just raised his eyebrows with a subtle expression, but had no intention of continuing the communication.
-
A group of four played two games.
Mu Jia used to be with Cheng Yu'an and had learned golf.
She's also quite athletic.
In addition, he was in particularly good form tonight, and even had the momentum to surpass Teng Zhi.
Mu Jia thought about her busy half month before. Teng Zhi had a lover in front of her. At this juncture, she didn't want to be involved in the female competition.
So he slipped away under the pretext of changing clothes.
After drinking two glasses with Song Mingxi, Mu Jia got up and went to the locker room.
She sat on the leather bench outside, her mind reflecting on what she had experienced in the past two weeks.
The workload increased dramatically, Teng Zhi issued a warning, and the second lady of the Xie family targeted him.
...Thinking so, he opened the door of the locker room.
-
The person who caught my eye was Xie Siyan.
He was leaning against the wardrobe, his coat already taken off, his shirt sleeves casually rolled up, revealing his well-defined forearms.
"Excuse me,"
Mu Jia said in panic, "You forgot to lock the door."
——Don’t forget to put the responsibility on him.
"It's okay," the man said calmly, and made a gesture to stand up and leave.
Looking at his relaxed appearance and thinking about what he had experienced in the past half month, Mu Jia felt angry and called out to him from behind.
"Mr. Xie, what happened that night...has caused me a lot of trouble at work."
"oh?"
The man paused and raised his eyebrows slightly, as if waiting for her accusation.
Mu Jia simply confessed, "Boss Teng has misunderstood our relationship. She is now my direct supervisor..."
Xie Siyan said in a cold tone: "What does it have to do with me?"
Mu Jia's breathing hitched.
This person really has no heart.
The good mood on the court just now is gone.
She had played two games with unexpectedly good results, and Xie Siyan even praised her with a rare "not bad". But now, his eyes were cold, as if what she said was just an insignificant joke.
The door outside was suddenly pushed open.
Mu Jia heard the sound of high heels scraping against the ground.
Song Mingxi is wearing flat shoes tonight.
——It’s Teng Zhi.
The air froze instantly.
In a hurry, Mu Jia reached out and grabbed Xie Siyan, almost leaning against his arms.
"Don't go."
Her voice was urgent.
His mind was full of worry that he hadn't caught Xie Siyan, but he couldn't irritate Teng Zhi anymore.
She also wants to work in the financial circle.
Xie Siyan's body stiffened slightly, but he didn't push her away.
The scent of gardenia lingered in my nostrils.
He lowered his gaze, lingering for a moment on Mu Jia's tightly clasped fingers, and suddenly chuckled: "Your flirting skills really need to be improved."
Mu Jia: “…”
-
Mu Jia's eyes went dark, and some fragments of the past emerged in his mind.
In fact, she and Xie Siyan have known each other for a long time.
Five years ago, Jia Mu was still studying composition at the Conservatory of Music, while Xie Siyan was a prominent figure at the Finance College next door.
The school has an "interdisciplinary collaboration program" that is supposedly aimed at promoting the integration of art and business.
In fact, it is used to improve the resumes of rich kids.
As the president of the student union, Xie Siyan was naturally thrust in as a "mentor" to attract interested students.
Jiamu happened to be assigned to the group he was in.
They met once a week, always at a table in the far corner of the library.
Xie Siyan is never late, but he never procrastinates either.
Forty minutes, he came and went, as if he was perfunctorily doing some unavoidable task—
“There’s something wrong with the style of the music.”
“The creativity is too blunt.”
“The motivation is not commercial enough.”
——Then she closed the proposal she submitted, stood up and left.
He didn't even bother to ask her name.
On the contrary, Cheng Yu'an, who had come to teach a class once, was gentle and answered her questions. Jia Mu almost forgot that she had a crush on him at the beginning.
It was fleeting, like a sudden downpour in summer. Once, while casually flipping through music, she asked him, "Xie, are you free to go see a cello performance together tomorrow?"
Xie Siyan was packing up his pen and looked up when he heard this.
Sunlight filtered in through the gaps in the blinds, casting a cold shadow beneath his eyelashes. His expression was obscured by the glass lenses of his glasses, and he said coldly, "Do you like hanging two at once?"
The pen snapped shut.
Mu Jia raised his head in surprise, "Who else am I hanging?"
"." The other party did not answer.
Realizing he might have misunderstood something, Mu Jia hurriedly opened her mouth to explain. But before she could finish her words, she felt she was out of position, so she changed her words and said, "I just wanted to invite you to see the show. Thank you for your guidance over the past month."
"Then it seems I misunderstood." He took back his words and turned away indifferently.
Later, this cooperation activity ended quickly, and Mu Jia graduated naturally. The two never contacted each other again, and even lost their contact information.
-
Mu Jia felt that Xie Siyan seemed to have always been hostile to him.
When they met again after graduation, as Cheng Yu'an's girlfriend, he was also cold and indifferent to her, far less enthusiastic than Zhou Xu and others.
People in their circle know best how to put on a show.
He was too lazy to even put on a show, which showed how deeply prejudiced he was against her.
Mu Jia raised her head, revealing her beautiful cleavage, and pressed against Xie Siyan's body without moving an inch. "You misunderstood me."
She blinked her big watery eyes and said seriously, "I don't want Miss Teng to misunderstand."
